Understanding Application Grants

Application grants are issued per application.

Users issued grants for a specific application have the privileges to perform the associated actions on that application. See Issuing Application Grants to issue application grants.

Issuing Application Grants

You can issue grants to users that allow them to view application details or manage applications in the Management Portal or the Developer Portal.

Grants are issued per application; repeat this task for each application you want to issue grants for.

You must be issued the Manage Application grant to issue grants for it.

1. On the Applications List page, select the application for which you want to manage grants.
2. Click the (Grants) tab.
3. Click the tab that corresponds to the grant you want to issue to users or groups:
   • Manage Application: users issued this grant can modify and delete this application. API Manager users issued this grant can also issue grants for this application to other users.
   • View all details: users issued this grant can see all details about this application in the Management Portal, or in the Developer Portal, in the case of Application Developer users.
4. Click Add Grantee.
   The Add Grantee dialog appears.
5. From the Add Grantee dialog, select the user(s) or group(s) to which you want to issue the grant. You can select multiple users and groups.

   Note:

   You cannot select users or groups that already have this grant; they are greyed out in the Add Grantee dialog.

6. Click Add.

The user(s) or group(s) are issued the application grant you chose.
